George McRae – Corporation Building (Municipal Building) – Haymarket

Spell the name right first: George McRae, not McCrae. Edinburgh-trained, City Architect then NSW Government Architect, he is the hand behind some of late-Victorian Sydney’s best civic theatre — and the live post’s “Sydney Municipality Building” is his Corporation Building on Hay Street, Haymarket, the flamboyant little Anglo-Dutch pile built for the Belmore market precinct in the mid-1890s (design and contract from 1893; finished c.1893–95).

The same McRae gave Council four costume sketches for the new city markets that became the Queen Victoria Building: Gothic, Queen Anne, Renaissance and Romanesque. They picked Romanesque; the QVB rose 1893–98 and still owns the block between the Town Hall and the old markets spine. The Haymarket Corporation Building is the smaller sibling from the same desk — offices, refreshment rooms and early public toilets for the produce trade, not a mini-QVB.

Sydney Municipality Building

This Building Waa Designed By The colonial architect George McRae And Was Built c.1893–95. He Had Been Appointed As The Head Colonial Architect For The City Of Sydney During The Golden Era Of the Victorian Era. 

George McRae Was Also The Architect behind The Design Of The queen Victoria Building. & Would You believe  He Wet as Far As Designing Four Different Styles For The "Queen Victoria Markets" Which We Now Call The Queen Victoria Building 
George McRae Did A Gothic Revival, Queen Anne Style,  Renaissance & Romanesque. I wonder where His Other versions  Of The Queen Victoria Building Are Ok If They've Ever Seen the Light When The  Romanesque Style Was Decided Upon.
